The patriotic citizen will be reminded that June 14, 1931, marks the 154tb anniversary of the day when the Continental Congress passed the resolution officially establishing, as the em Were of the United States, a flag "of thirteen stripes alternate red and wkite," and "that the union be 13 stars white m a blue field representing a new constellation." But every patriot will also look forward to next year, when Flag Day will take on a still deeper meaning is one of the key days in the ten months' nation-wide celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Gaotga the thaw of «hs Washington Bioentannfap Commission, every American, in evwy state and city of the coontry, wiB <H*m be encouraged to honor the flag wjth appropriate ceremonies sad wf0i a new devotion, linked as it la wilt file life and labors of George Washington. Historians may regard as unsupported by the fact the story of Betsy Ross' stitching the first American American Flag, but no one disputes the fact that the legend has become part and parcel of American folklore. In any case it is known that Washington had an intens'e personal interest in the creation of a national flag, and may have had a part in its design. And no one disputes the fact that he accomplished more .thap any other American in giving that flag a meaning and in unfurling it over a strong and united nation. In 1932 it will be the country's privilege to render new memmortal synihol at Id* jreatnesa. Meanwhile, this y«tr, ft Is well to recall soma of the great dates in the' flag's history. Its first display by the Continental Army was on August 3, 1777, at Fort Stanwix, the present city of Rome, N. Y.. during- an attnek by the British. It was first carried into battle by George Washington's troops at Brandywine on September 11, 1777. It was first saluted by the British at the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga on October 17, 1777. For the Navy, John Paul Jones took the first salute to the Stars and Stripes on February 14, 1778, when he sailed his ship "Ranger" into the harbor of Quiberon, France. In the same ship he forced the first striking of colors to our Flag by the British ship "Drake,4'on April 24, 1778. The ship "Bedford," of Massachusetts carried the first American Flag into * BMfc'fcfet' WIWWOT 3* ITU. it tmni the world by the ttp "CdlaiUt," sailing from Beaton In September, 1787. Captain John Green*, to the "Empress cf Chtaa," bad previously taken it to China in 1784. It was first flown in battle in the Pacific by the U. S. Printe^ "Essar." in 1818. The next year^rancis Scott Key wrote the "Star Spangled Banner." In 1818 Congress decreed that henceforth a new star should be added on the admission of each new State to the Union; but, before that, on January 13, 1794, after Vermont and Kentucky had been admitted to the Union, the stars and stripes were increased to fifteen. In 1818 an Act reduced stripes to thirteen and decreed a new star for each new State, which made a jtffnp at once to twenty stars. On April 6, 1909, Admiral Peary planted the first American flag at the Nyth Pole. Within the last decode. Byrd has carried it to bettf. the Boles. Whatever ithaa gon» it has achievement and ISV. tinors to nation. But next yearjOld Glory float ever the fcehierements of greatest American of all, the who made both the flag and the that flies it--George Washington. s S. H.
